Okay.

So what are you guys

doing for the summer?

Actually, so

for me and Jess

have made zero

plans for the summer.

How about you

and Patrick?

What can I do?

If you don't mind,

the ones that grandpa

likes, the big ones.

You know, we are

probably going to end up

just staying

in the city.

Well, that can

be really nice.

I mean, the summertime

is really quiet

and you really

get to know people.

It's different.

Well, you make it

sound so appealing.

Oh, I'm

sincere about it,

it can be very nice.

By the way, how late are

you planning to stay?

I mean, I can

always take a train

I'm sure we're all going to

leave around the same time;

definitely before

dinner though.

Of being able to avoid

Maestro if possible,

but if I can't,

I guess I can't.

Victoria, would you mind

getting me some cream cheese

from the fridge?

Okay.

Ouch!

Jesus, that's hot.

That oil tank

is the bomb, man.

Yeah, you have to finish

help making lunch though.

I just want to see it,

then I'll come help.

All right! Uh, you're going

to help clean up afterwards?

Yeah.

But be careful there's a

lot of stuff down there.

Okay.

Umm, listen,

I think maybe we

ought to consider

packing up a lot

of mom's stuff today

so that Tuesday is not a big

ordeal, you know what I mean?

It's not going

to be a big ordeal.

I'm just going to take

the necessary things.

Really, I'd rather

just wait till Tuesday.

All right!

Hey, how did

it go with Fred?

Fantastic!

Victoria, do we have

a peeler anywhere?

Yeah.

Hold on, I'll get it.

All right! Thank you!

How do you like

the salad, Fred?

Very good!

- It's great!

- Thank you!

Pick it up.

Pick it up. Pick it up.

Hey, you can

finish your lunch

you can have

that pie la Mode.

- Great!

- Uh-huh.

When do we hear about the

schools for the Captain?

She's going to

Horace Riverston next year.

She got a scholarship.

- That's great!

- Congratulations!

- Wow, fantastic!

- Thanks!

That's so wonderful!

I'm so proud of her.

I'm proud!

Oh, you know,

well, your dad and I

are talking

about that one.

My life depends on it.

Susan, you're going to be

seeing a lot more of us

You're going to get to

see us all the time.

Will live in the same building

as you, just two floors below.

- It's going to be wonderful!

- I'm not going.

Oh! Dad, you've got

to at least try.

I'm not going

without Ginger.

Where's Ginger?

Did you see Ginger?

I'm not going anyplace

they don't allow p*ssy.

Grant me strength, idiot!

Oh, I think I

know who's here.

Maestro's here!

Okay.

Listen, I promise, I promise,

I'm going to be nice.

Okay, if you say so.

- How are you?

- Maestro's here. -I'm okay.
